Nitro-powered EDF
This is a new one on me, but you can't argue with the results.

Re: Nitro-powered EDF
Nothing new about it at all, and nothing to do with EDF. This is how all jets were originally. A ducted fan unit powered by a nitro engine turning high RPM's. Most of that stuff isn't even available anymore. EDF's are on the way, and less finicky than the glow ducted fan's were, but the cost of EDF for that kind of performance is huge, you can put a turbine into that same jet and go faster for less money than a complete EDF setup.

Re: Nitro-powered EDF
LOL, I've actually thought about selling it, I had to completely disassemble the engine and fuel system, and I replaced the engine bearings, there was so much mold in the fuel tank when I got it from you LOL!!!!!!!! After the one flight I had with it I couldn't get it started anymore, the fuel system and engine were completely plugged up with green crap. No damage to the engine at all, just bearings and I probably could have just cleaned them, but I figured I'd change them. I love the sound and the smell, but they're still a pain in the arse to deal with! LOL

Re: Nitro-powered EDF
EDF= Electric Ducted Fan. No electric in that vid!!
Can't you just feel the nitro exhaust burning your eyes? Oh how I really don't miss those days. |
